Computing Community Consortium

The Computing Community Consortium supports the computing research community in creating compelling research visions and the mechanisms to realize these visions.

CCC at CRA's 2008 Snowbird Conference

The Computing Community Consortium was featured as the closing plenary session of the Computing Research Association's Conference at Snowbird 2008, a semi-annual meeting of the heads of CRA's 200+ member units. The slides from this session are available here.

From the CCC Blog

The Taulbee Survey “headline” this year was (roughly) “computer science bachelors degrees drop again.” In my view, this is not news — it was entirely predictable from the legitimate headline four years ago: (roughly) “freshman interest and new enrollments drop again.” The actual news right now in the CRA data is that freshman interest and new enrollments seem to be stabilizing and turning the corner — starting to trend upward. “Degrees granted” is a lagging indicator — it lags freshman interest by 4 years. The fact that the number of bachelors degrees granted this past year decreased is not news — anyone could have looked at the freshman interest data from 4 years ago and told you it was going to happen.
